TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions, including a solid form of a certain compound useful for inhibiting mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (mIDH1).

BACKGROUND

The solid form of a compound may be important when the compound is used for pharmaceutical purposes. For example, compared with an amorphous solid, the solid physical properties of a crystalline compound may change from one solid form to another, which may affect its suitability for pharmaceutical use. In addition, different solid forms of a crystalline compound can incorporate different types and/or different amounts of impurities. The solid form of a compound can also affect chemical stability upon exposure to heat and/or water over a period of time.

The compound ((S)-5-((1-(6-chloro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)ethyl)amino)-1-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-2-carbonitrile (“Compound 1”)

is an selective inhibitor of R132X mIDH-1. The free base of Compound 1 can be formulated into a pharmaceutical composition for treating patients diagnosed with a mIDH-1 form of cancer. The pharmaceutical composition can be provided in a unit dosage form (e.g., a capsule or unit dosage form) for oral use.

A preparation of a lyophilized solid form of Compound 1 is described in the publication WO2016/044789. However, therapeutic compounds often exist in a variety of solid forms having different properties. There remains a need for identifying solid forms of Compound 1 useful for various therapeutic applications.

A solution of 5-fluoropicolinonitrile (7.27 g, 59.5 mmol) in CHCl₃ (60 mL) was added dropwise by addition funnel to a solution of m-CPBA (<77%, 22.00 g, 98 mmol) in CHCl3 160 mL). The solution was stirred at reflux for 4 days, at which time LCMS showed ˜85% conversion. The sample was allowed to cool, then sodium sulfite (12.4 g, 98 mmol) was added and the sample was stirred at room temperature for three hours, during which time the solution became thick with a white precipitate.
